How to use Beyond Compare 4 in eclipse with GIT on Linux platform 64bit

The only method we are aware of to incorporate with Git is to use the BeyondCVS plug-in. Otherwise, does Eclipse offer any other means to define an external diff tool? If so, we can incorporate and use those, as we do with these:http://www.scootersoftware.com/support.php?zz=kb_vcs

We also have instructions on that page to define BC4 as Git's diff/merge tool in Linux, but this does not include Eclipse integration.

but, unfortunately, it is not clear for me what I have to do after these instructions.
what is changed inside eclipse after I ran these instructions in a shell. what is the next step?
thank you for your patience, Leonardo

Sorry, those instructions aren't for Eclipse. I mentioned that section in case it helps call a Git Diff from the command line, outside of Eclipse. If Eclipse can hook into this with more recent versions, it might help, but I am not aware that it has this capability. The only method I know of to use a diff tool within Eclipse is BeyondCVS, which is a plug-in created by Chris and Nick of the open source community, and isn't managed by Scooter Software.
